METRIC EQUIVALENTS
The recipes that appear in this cookbook use the standard United States
method for measuring liquid and dry or solid ingredients (teaspoons,
tablespoons, and cups). The information on this chart is provided to help
cooks outside the U.S. successfully use these recipes. All equivalents are
approximate.
METRIC EQUIVALENTS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF
INGREDIENTS
A standard cup measure of a dry or solid ingredient will vary in weight
depending on the type of ingredient. A standard cup of liquid is the same
volume for any type of liquid. Use the following chart when converting
standard cup measures to grams (weight) or milliliters (volume).

THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING TRIPLE-TEST PROMISE
At Good Housekeeping, we want to make sure that every recipe we print
works in any oven, with any brand of ingredient, no matter what. That’s
why, in our test kitchens at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute,
we go all out: We test each recipe at least three times—and, often, several
more times after that.
When a recipe is first developed, one member of our team prepares the
dish and we judge it on these criteria: It must be delicious, family-friendly,
healthy, and easy to make.
1 The recipe is then tested several more times to fine-tune the flavor and
ease of preparation, always by the same team member, using the same
equipment.
2 Next, another team member follows the recipe as written, varying the
brands of ingredients and kinds of equipment. Even the types of
stoves we use are changed.
3 A third team member repeats the whole process using yet another set
of equipment and alternative ingredients. By the time the recipes
appear in our books, they are guaranteed to work in any kitchen,
including yours. We promise.
